An Introduction...

So it is, the first sentence.

A new way to escape one world for another.

I don't know how these things usually start. I'll go with a little introduction, my name is Dylan Oliver, and I'm new to the world. I amn't a baby, worse, a graduate, I've finished the nursery of further education and risen up to adult school. I have a job, a fiance with a cat, and my very own rent a flat. Sound good? Oh yeah, its peachy, if you look real close at the windows, you can sometimes see the bars.

When you're a kid you believe in Santa, you think everybody's going to be an astronaut or a lawyer but the truth is the world needs more shelf stacker's than spacemen and a hell of a lot more cleaners than cowboys, you're just never told that.

I'm not a resentful person, I don't feel guilt as I scrape away a half eaten dinner knowing it could feed starving Africans. It's not that I don't care, it's just not my world.

You see in this standard, uncharismatic rental dream apartment is the little world in which I belong. In my building are 8 other tiny worlds, and next to that, another 8, and so on. In the city I live and all over the world everybody exists in there own private universe. Regularly overlapping with others to provide the never ending plot lines of Our Urban Lives.

And that is why I've started writing this.
